As a dedicated cinephile, I must admit that I initially shared the concerns about this year’s summer movie lineup after “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” didn’t quite live up to expectations at the box office. However, it seems that my worries were premature! While everyone was engrossed in the ongoing saga of Deadpool and Wolverine, a 2024 blockbuster quietly made its way onto center stage.
As a devoted gamer, I’m right in the thick of “Ratings Week” for Madden NFL 25. The masterminds at Electronic Arts have been steadily unveiling the ratings for every player in this year’s edition of the iconic football franchise. This means that fans like me have been finding out which players have made it into the coveted 99 Club. Today, just like many other days, EA didn’t disappoint. For a record-breaking fifth time, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has earned a 99 rating in Madden NFL 25. It’s always a thrill to see my favorite players get recognized!
In the newly released series titled “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” the focus lies on the Hidden Leaf Village and its constant efforts to safeguard the Ninja World. Despite challenging times for Boruto, the younger sister, Himawari, has undergone some astonishing transformations recently. In more recent episodes, it’s been unveiled that Naruto and Hinata’s child, Himawari, is the latest bearer of the Nine-Tailed Fox, demonstrating that eliminating Kurama remains no simple task. Now, Himawari reappears in our world, partially due to an exceptionally accurate cosplay performance.
Even though Electronic Arts continues to dominate simulation football through its Madden series, other companies have recently delved into the arcade aspect of American football. For instance, 2K recently launched NFL 2K Playmakers, a mobile game emphasizing card collection over traditional gameplay. Yet, there’s still an opportunity for a fresh football game to captivate fans. Ubisoft intends to seize this chance by introducing a new NFL game later this year, but not in the conventional sense that many might expect. Instead, their offering is NFL Primetime Fantasy, which aims to revolutionize the fantasy football experience.
In 2025, “Witch Hat Atelier” is anticipated to be one of the most significant new anime debuts. With its emotionally resonant narrative, which has garnered much love from manga enthusiasts, the series aims to achieve the same level of acclaim as contemplative anime shows like “Delicious in Dungeon” and “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”. Our team at ComicBook was fortunate enough to visit Anime Expo and converse with Ayumu Watanabe, the director of the “Witch Hat Atelier” adaptation. During this conversation, we discussed the hurdles encountered in adapting the original work for the very first time.
Cody Rhodes has been absent from wrestling rings outside of WWE for more than two and a half years now. He joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) three years ago before rejoining WWE in April 2022.

This visibility extended to promotional materials and, in the ring, he took part in high-profile matches against his brother Dustin Rhodes, Chris Jericho (then AEW World Champion), and Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
